Not Oversubscribed

This school was able to offer places to everyone who applied on time in 2016 for admission to reception.However, please note that the school appears to have accepted more pupils than its published admission number. It is not always possible for schools to accomodate extra pupils in this way, and therefore the school may be oversubscribed if it receives a similar number of applicants in future years.
